During the 2024 PSC producer meetings, held in collaboration with Zoetis and PIC, nutrition researcher at the Prairie Swine Centre Dan Columbus gave a presentation titled ‘Insights into mycotoxins in swine diets’. In this presentation, Dan provided information regarding mycotoxin prevalence, how they affect pigs, issues around sampling ingredients for mycotoxins, and mitigation strategies, including binders, detoxification, physical removal, grain sorting, etc. He also discussed the results of two research trials he did feeding mycotoxins to finisher pigs and grower-finisher pigs.
